I've been speaking with other more informed communists and they've told me that none actually exist. Is this true?

China, Laos, and Vietnam: now notoriously capitalists. Workers work 12+ hours with no protection in horrible factory conditions. Suicide rates are so high that suicide nets are installed. The air is so polluted millions die from lung cancer, especially factory workers w/out basic masks. Corporations dominate

North Korea: Undemocratically ruled by the Kim dynasty. Jong un indulges lavishly at the expense of his citizens, ordering millions in fine wine and trips from Denis Rodman. They might be the most socialist though, as Juche seems to otherwise be democratic.

Cuba: Sanctions have taken a massive toll, but even taking that into account the country still has its own problems. They have massive food shortages and inventory probs and aren't self sufficient after 60+ years. Why couldn't they've use machinery imported from the Soviet Union to develop their agriculture and fishery? The Soviets supported them heavily. They seem to be incredibly mismanaged or corrupt

 

How would the world react? Let's say Israel launches a ground offensive. They indiscriminately kills thousands of civilians by pounding them to rubble, shooting them and using them as human shields like in 2014.

Would anyone stop them from comitting genocide?

Ik after the hospital massacre with Biden's acceptance of israeli propaganda, the US and West will give the greenlight, so no real opposition will foment in Israel's genocide there.

But what about the Arab World? Protests have broken out everywhere. People are outraged. Jordan cancelled their summit with Biden. Egypt can't afford to hold those refugees and blames Israel. They all do. Surely one Arab state will go to war to protect Palestinians, or their people will force them to?

What about Iran, Hezbollah, and the rest of the Axis of Resistance? They're really the only ones who pledged to support Hamas. Will they intervene? And even if they do, will America's might annihilate them, as they already threatened them with their fleet?

 

To be more specific, I'm looking for unbiased biographies of Mao, Lenin, and Stalin. By "unbiased", I mean not clearly riddled in western propaganda or authors who are apologists. Also, it would help if you can tell me where I can download them as ebooks.

The only thing I found for Mao was Mao: The Unknown Story by Chang, and the Private life of Chairman Mao by Zhisui. Both are full of blatant hatred and Western propaganda of Mao, so they are full of shit. I can't find anything else in english though, there's a chinese one but it's sponsored by the CPC and is too long, so again it isn't reliable. For Stalin, It's like everything about that man is Western Propaganda, I can't find any unbiased source. I know Stalin isn't some saint and killed lots of people, but it's like Westerners believe that's all he did even in his free time! I saw one book say he killed 1 million soviet citizens per year, wtf! There is zero acknowledgments at all to the successes from his rule. The closest I found was from a former Soviet Historian using released Soviet Archives. Apparently he did one on Lenin too, and seems unbiased enough. For Lenin it's the same problems w/ propaganda. Albeit, I can rely on his own texts as well to get a view on him.
